Nadia Almada, a well-known figure from the reality TV show Big Brother, recently made headlines for her incredible transformation after undergoing what she calls "life-saving" surgery. The 47-year-old, who made history as the first transgender winner of the show in 2004, has been open about her struggles with weight and health issues in the past.
Despite her previous success on the show, Nadia had been making fewer public appearances in recent years. However, her loyal fans have been kept updated through her regular posts on social media. One particular post caught the attention of many, as it showed off her remarkable weight loss and stunning figure in a bodysuit.
In an interview, Nadia shared that she had lost over six stone in just a few months, going from 17st6lb to 11st8lb. She underwent gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey in March this year, after her mother suggested it. "When she told me I should get the surgery, it was the relief and reassurance that I needed," Nadia said.
The TV star revealed that before the surgery, she was a size 20 and had little energy or vitality. She was also at a higher risk for heart problems and strokes due to the excess weight she was carrying. On top of that, she couldn't even wear heels because her feet were swollen. These issues pushed her to finally make a change for the better.
Nadia also shared that the surgery not only made her feel "prettier and slender," but it also had a significant impact on her health. Her cholesterol and thyroid levels have improved, and she now has more energy and feels better about herself. In her own words, the surgery was "life-saving" for her.
However, the weight loss journey has not been without its challenges. Nadia admitted to experiencing "withdrawal symptoms" from her old eating habits, where she would consume "enormous amounts" of food. She even found herself spending hundreds of pounds on new ingredients because her brain was craving them.
Nadia rose to fame when she appeared on the fifth series of Big Brother and ultimately won the show. She made history as the first transgender contestant, and her win was praised by many. Last year, she showed her support for another transgender housemate, Hallie, who bravely came out to her co-stars.
Nadia shared her protective feelings towards Hallie and hopes that she will have a successful journey in the house. She also reminded Hallie that her identity as a transgender woman is just one part of who she is, and she has much more to offer. As Nadia put it, "We all come in shapes and sizes, and we are all who we are."
